The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up
Marie Kondō, 2011
A Japanese organizing consultant's case that tidying is not housework but a decision about how you want to live, made one object at a time.

Kondō began reading home and lifestyle magazines at five, and spent five years as a Shinto shrine maiden before organizing professionally.
Feels like home, hope and identity.
Not usefulness, not guilt, not the price you paid. A feeling in the hand.
The best way to choose what to keep and what to throw away is to take each item in one’s hand and ask: “Does this spark joy?” If it does, keep it. If not, dispose of it. This is not only the simplest but also the most accurate yardstick by which to judge. Books by Marie Kondō
